Description

"HALOGEN-FREE FLAME RETARDANT ADDITIVE"
******************
The present invention relates to a halogen-free flame retardant additive, essentially comprising hypophosporous acid metallic salts coated with inorganic hydrates and/or organic salts, useful as a flame retardant for polymer compositions, alone or in combination with other flame retardants and optionally further conventional components.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Halogen free flame retardant additives are of increasing interest in the thermoplastic polymers market. Basic requirements for these products are good processing in compounding and moulding conditions, good mechanical properties in the solid state and good flame retardancy in reinforced and unreinforced polymers.
Hypophosphorus acid metal salts, also called hypophosphites or inorganic phosphinates (phosphorus valence state = +1) have been reported as effective halogen free flame retardant additives for polymers. Thermoplastic polyester moulding materials containing a phosphinic acid salts have been described in the art, see for instance WO 03/014212 (equivalent to US 71692812) and WO 99/57187
(equivalent to US 6,503,969).
According to WO 03/014212, a polyester comprising a mixture of a phosphinic acid salt having a preferred particle size distribution and a nitrogen flame retardant, preferably mixed in advance and then feed to the melt, confer a particularly desired set of properties to the moulded composition.
According to WO 99/57187, a polyester comprising a mixture of a phosphinic acid salt and a nitrogen containing flame retardant, excluding melamine cyanurate, shows good flame retardant properties.
The phosphinic acid salts disclosed in the above documents apparently show a good flame retardant performance but at same time they cause the degradation of the polymeric composition to which they are added.
In fact, said additives chemically interact with the polymeric structure, provoking degradation or crosslinking, depending on the chemical nature of the specific polymer and of the additives. Crosslinking and degradation are of course unwanted phenomena in thermoplastic processing, as they cause a change in the rheology of the polymers and in the resultant mechanical properties of polymer moulding. For instance, crosslinking of thermoplastic polymers results in an increased viscosity of the melt, with subsequent increasing in temperature if the melt is continuously subjected to shear forces. Temperature plays a fundamental role in accelerating this speed of reaction as well as in decomposing additives themselves. If crosslinking is high the thermoplastic is reverted into a so called thermoset polymer. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One object of the present invention is to provide halogen-free flame retardant additives showing very good processing behaviour and mechanical performances, thus overcoming the drawbacks of the prior art additives.
It was in fact surprisingly found out that applying a particular surface coating to hypophosporous acid metallic salts results in more performing flame retardant additives for polymeric compositions. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
So, according to one of its aspects, a subject-matter of the present invention is a hypophosporous acid metallic salt characterized in that it is surface-coated with at least one compound selected from:
(a) alkali-metal or alkali-earth hydrates; (b) hydrotalcite or hydrotalcite-like compounds; and
(c) alkali-metal or alkali-earth organic acid salts.
The hypophosporous acid metallic salt of the invention is herein after also called "surface coated hypophosporous acid metallic salt" or " surface-coated hypophosphite salt" and includes any metallic salt of hypophosporous acid, such as any natural or synthetic alkali-metal and alkali-earth metal salts, for instance magnesium hypophosphite, calcium hypophosphite and aluminium hypophosphite. According to the present invention, the term "alkali-metal or alkali-earth hydrates" includes for instance magnesium hydroxide and aluminium hydroxide. According to the present invention, the terms "hydrotalcite" and "hydrotalcite-like compounds" designate natural or synthetic compounds made of aluminium- magnesium-hydroxycarbonate, optionally hydrated, and derivatives thereof. Examples of hydrotalcite-like derivatives are compounds which are known also as layered double hydroxides or anionic clays, which chemical composition can be expressed by the general formula

yH2O where M11 and M111 are divalent and trivalent metal cations and An" is an n-valent anion, respectively. One example of commercially available synthetic hydrotalcite derivative is DHT-4A, provided by Kyowa.
According to the present invention, the term "alkali-metal or alkali-earth organic acid salts" means any natural or synthetic organic acid alkali-metal or alkali-earth salt. The term "organic acid" includes aromatic organic acids, such as benzoic acid, and aliphatic acids, such as fatty acids C8 - C22, e.g. caprylic, capric, lauric, myristic, palmitic, stearic, arachidic, behenic or mixtures.
Preferred alkali-metal or alkali-earth organic acid salts are sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, sodium benzoate and potassium benzoate. According to a preferred embodiment, preferred compounds (a) to (c) are magnesium stearate, sodium stearate and mixtures thereof.
According to a preferred embodiment, the hypophosporous acid metallic salt is surface-coated by one or more compounds selected from magnesium hydroxide, synthetic hydrotalcite, sodium benzoate, potassium benzoate, sodium stearate and calcium stearate. Also, different hypophosporous acid metallic salts may be mixed and surface-coated by one or more compounds (a) to (c) above, to provide valuable flame retardant additives, according to the invention.
According to the present invention, the hypophosporous acid metallic salt is surface- coated by intimate contacting of the hypophosporous acid metallic salt and one or more compounds (a) to (c) above, preferably in a solvent, such as water, followed by filtering and drying of the product thus obtained.
Alternatively, the hypophosporous acid metallic salt is surface-coated by mechanical grinding in a milling machine and optionally mixing the dry powders in a slow or high speed mechanical mixer. The ratio hypophosporous acid metallic salt/compounds (a) to (c) is preferably from 100/1 to 5/1 (w/w), preferably 100/1 to 10/1 (w/w). The surface coating process of a hypophosporous acid metallic salt with a compound selected from (a) to (c) above, represents a further aspect of the present invention.
If desired, a binding agent can be used in the surface-coating process of the invention to improve the adhesion of the coating compounds to the surface of the hypophosporous acid metallic salt. Illustrative examples of binding agents are organic binders, such as synthetic or natural waxes, modified waxes, liquid hydrocarbons or epoxide resins.
A detailed description of the process of the invention is given the experimental part of the present application. The surface-coated hypophosporous acid metallic salts of the invention show improved flame-retardant performances with respect to the compounds known in the art. They can be used as flame retardant, alone or in combination with further conventional flame retardants or with processing aids, process and heat stabilizers,
UV stabilizers, antidripping agents, pigments, mould release agents, nucleants, inorganic fillers, fibers, etc.
More particularly, they can be advantageously added to polymeric compositions and articles made thereof, such as thermoplastic polymeric compositions, polyesters or polyamides, either reinforced or unreinforced with glass fibers.
The polymeric compositions comprising the surface-coated hypophosporous acid metallic salts of the invention show improved processing performances, that is to say, they may be moulded at high temperature and for a long time with a reduced changing of molecular weight of the polymer.
Also, the polymeric compositions comprising the surface-coated hypophosporous acid metallic salts show good mechanical properties, as impact, tensile and flexural properties of the moulded polymer composition are only minimally affected from the addition of the novel flame retardant.
The flame retardant properties of surface-coated hypophosporous acid metallic salts of the invention ranks VO according to UL 94 and pass Glow wire test.
Details of the flame retardant properties as well as comparative tests are reported in the experimental section.
For their use as flame retardant agents, the surface-coated hypophosporous acid metallic salts of the invention may be added to the polymeric composition in a ratio polymeric composition/ surface-coated hypophosporous acid metallic salts which varies from 50/1 to 1/1 preferably from 20/1 to 3/1, for instance 5/1 to 4/1 (w/w).
The polymeric compositions comprising one or more surface-coated hypophosporous acid metallic salts of the invention represents a further subject-matter of the invention.
The polymeric composition of the invention may comprise different surface-coated hypophosporous acid metallic salts according to the invention.
According to a preferred embodiment, the polymeric compositions of the invention further comprise an epoxide resin and/or an organic binder.

Test Examples and Comparative Test Examples 38 - 69
In table 1, the results of melt stability in PA 6,6 glass filled 30 % in a laboratory torque rheometer plasicizer model Brabender (50 grams chamber) are shown. Polymer and additives are introduced in the machine, and torque is recorded as a function of time at different temperatures. Crosslinking of polyamide lead to dramatic step increase of torque with burning of the sample itself.
In Column 1 is reported the hypophosphite type, in Columns 2 and 3 the quantities of additives and polymer used. In Columns 5, 6, 7 time is reported in minutes, indicating the end of the test at different temperatures. The higher the time lap, the better the process stability.
Column 7 reports the Test Example numbers and Column 8 the Comparative Test
Example numbers.
Example 39 shows that Polyamide 6,6 glass fiber reinforced is stable up to 310°C without additives.
Test Example 40 shows that IP-A affect the melt stability of polyamides, at 300°C the melt burn immediately with flames.
Comparative Ex. 41 show that the epoxide surface coating does not improve melt stability of aluminium hypophosphite when used alone (compared to Comp. Ex. 40), but it does improve the performances of magnesium hydroxide coating very likely allowing a better sticking to the hypophosphite surface (see Comparative Ex. 41, Ex.
42)
Test Examples 43 - 46 show the improvement of magnesium hydroxide coating on melt stability. Test Examples 47-52 show the improvement of synthetic hydrotalcite, sodium and potassium benzoate, sodium and calcium stearate. Sodium stearate (Ex. 50) is particularly effective, so due to his double nature of effective surface coating and partially wax behaviour is useful in mixed coatings toghether with magnesium hydroxide, improving stickiness of the coating to the hypophosphite particles. Comparative Test Examples 53-59 show that melamine cyanurate, zinc borate, calcium carbonate and zinc sulphide are not effective.
Comparative Test Example 60 and Test Example 61 show that magnesium hydroxide is also effective in improving melt stability of magnesium hypophosphite, whereas Comparative Test Examples 62-64 show that zinc borate, zinc oxide and zinc sulfide are not.
Test Example 65 show that magnesium hydroxide coating is also effective when used on mixtures of aluminium and magnesium hypophosphite. Test Examples 66-70 show that magnesium hydroxide, synthetic hydrotalicte and calcium stearate are effective in improving melt stability of calcium hypophosphite into PA 6,6.

Test Examples and Comparative Test Examples 71 - 79
Components reported in table 2 are compounded in a 20 mm twin screw extruded with a temperature profile in the range 250-270°C. Polymer is dried 1 night in an oven at 120°C before extruding. After drying a second time the compound in the same conditions pellets were injection moulded at different thickness, and 5 specimens were conditioned for 24 hours at 230C and 50% humidity. Flammability have been reported according to UL-94 procedure. When tests do not meet VO, Vl and V2 an NC classification has been given, when it was not possible to extrude or to inject samples an ND classification was attributed. Comparative Test Examples 71-74 show the individual effectiveness of aluminium, calcium and magnesium hypophosphites. Aluminium hypophosphite is highly effective (Comp Ex. 72), but not enough stable in the melt. As a matter of fact, stopping the extruder or the injection moulding machine for some minutes caused burning and flame. Calcium hypophosphite was not possible to extrude at all (Comp. Test Example 73), when magnesium hypophospite show satisfactory melt stability (Comp. Ex. 74).
Test Examples 76-78 show that magnesium hydroxide coated aluminium and magnesium hypophosphites result in satisfactory flame retardancy and improved melt stability compared to the uncoated ones. Table 2

Components reported in table 3 are compounded in a 20 mm twin screw extruded with a temperature profile in the range 210-230°C. The polymer is dried overnight in an oven at 120°C before extruding. After drying a second time the compound in the same conditions pellets were injection moulded at different thickness, and 5 specimens were conditioned for 24 hours at 23°C and 50% humidity. Flammability have been reported according to UL-94 procedure. When tests do not meet VO, Vl and V2 an NC classification has been given, when it was not possible to extrude or to inject samples an ND classification was attributed. Melt Flow Index (MFI) measurements were done at 25O0C with a 2,16 kg load and were recorded after compounding and after 3 and 5 extrusion passage in a twin screw extruder at 210-2300C in the same conditions for all the compositions in the table. Differences in MFI between the value after 5 passage and after compounding are reported as Delta MFI and they represent the entity of degradation (the higher the number, the higher the degradation of the polymer).
Comparative Test Examples 79-82 show the effect of the uncoated hypophosphites in blend with a nitrogen flame retardant synergist. Flame retardant performances are satisfied, but the Delta MFI is in the best case 3 times higher than to comparative
Test Example 79 (blank).
Comparative Test Example 83 and Test Example 84 show the positive effect of surface coating during grinding compared to the simple blending of powder in a extruder, both in terms of flame retardancy and polymer degradation.
Test Examples 85-87 show that it is possible to reduce degradation of the polymer and to maintain excellent flame retardant performances especially by using aluminium hypophosphite or mixtures of aluminium and magnesium hypophosphite coated according to the present invention.
